Likoni
In February I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Likoni Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a bank teller until February, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Likoni Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $400 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $470 • Scans and lab work: $290 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kevin

      Thank you. If you're in Likoni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

  • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
